Lilley Flower Festival, 2015

It's that time again - that time when I know that summer has begun; although today it is raining quite hard! Over this Bank Holiday weekend, the pretty village of Lilley are having their annual flower festival. I really admire this pretty little village's congregation for coming together and making these beautiful displays for us to enjoy each year. It is such a lot of work for them, but it no doubt provides a welcome extra bit of money.

The church itself, St. Peter's, goes back to 1210. On the wall at the back of the church is a plaque showing all the incumbents who have presided over the years. It really is remarkable. Just take a look at the names. If you click on the picture, it will enlarge so you can read it better.
